Pat Buchanan made some interesting remarks on the decline of the Republican Party due to immigration. In an interview with Bill Steigerwald (October 9, 2008) he said: Q: Are we witnessing the end of the Republican Party’s 40-year cycle of power, as Chalmers Johnson says in The Nation? A: I’ve written that. I think what …
It’s a presidential election, not a tea party. You knew it would reach this point. It does every campaign cycle. As election day approaches, the campaigns make their arguments for their candidates and against the other one. That is the normal business cycle of a political campaign. Meanwhile, our sainted Old Media condemn such behavior …
The debate is important for both campaigns, but is more so for McCain’s. Tonight is the most important night of Sarah Palin’s career. If she crashes, the gamble McCain took will be seen to be a gigantic mistake. If she does well, the Old Media spin will include this theme: “that is the least we …
I am a strong supporter of John McCain but he is making a mistake suspending the debate with Barack Obama scheduled for September 26th. The economy is an important issue to be sure, and it deserves attention from both candidates. But McCain is not the President of the United States; he is not Chairman of …
AverageJoe is absolutely right–when will the Old Media grill Obama the way they do Palin? The answer is never. ABC News’ Charlie Gibson’s performance in his interview with Palin this week was despicable. More and more Americans realize the Old Media cannot be trusted to be professional, to be the hard-nosed journalists they should be …

Historically, Republicans were represented by the color blue and Democrats by the color red. So how did Democrats become blue and Republicans red? Consider these examples of electoral maps from 1980, 1984, 1988, and 1992. But something curious happened in 1996, the colors representing America’s two major political parties changed. Republicans became red and Democrats …
